The babies did well again last night. Aubrey got up once and I was able to give her a paci and she went back to sleep until about 5:00. Erin got up and fed Carter when he woke up around 4:00. We decided to get the kids up close to normal time and take them to daycare.
We don't get a lot of time to ourselves without the kids so it's nice to have a few days to get things done without the kids. The kids were actually quite quiet on the way to daycare. Once we got there though they were happy and started playing right away. I think the daycare lady forgot that we were bringing them or thought we were bringing them early because I knocked on the door for a few minutes and no one came to the door. I had to call her to get her to open the door. It wasn't a big deal at all. It was pretty chilly this morning though. There was a heavy frost on everything.
After dropping off the kids I headed to the gym. Erin decided to work out at home. After working out we met at Wal-Mart to do our normal shopping. We were low on all diapers so we had to get four boxes plus a box of wipes. It's a good thing we didn't have the kids because we used two carts to get everything. After Wal-Mart we headed home and unloaded all the groceries and stuff.
I took a shower and then we went out to the Mall to do some shopping. Erin is finally able to go clothes shopping now that all swelling is gone and she is to her new normal size. She has always been picky with her clothes (as one should be, I suppose), but she did find a pair of jeans. We also had to go back to Wal-Mart because we forgot to get Formula in the morning.
After shopping we went to Firehouse Subs. I got an Italian Sub and tried a few more types of soda on the Coke Freestyle. The Raspberry Coke was terrible. The Orange Mello Yellow is quite good. Cherry Vanilla Coke is also quite good. They should definitely make Cherry Vanilla Coke and sell it in stores. Erin tried a number (about five) different drinks as well. I told her the trick was to only partially fill up your cup so you keep going back to try something new.*a
We headed back home and pretty much spent the rest of the afternoon cleaning. Before I knew it I had to go pick up the kids from daycare. They were all happy to see dada. We got loaded up and headed back home. We we got home grammie and pappap had just pulled up. I got the boys out and they ran over to see them. Erin's family came over to have cake for her birthday.
Brayden wanted to go straight for the trains when he walked in the door. Calvin went for his dinner. Brayden and Calvin started running from the train set to their dinner table and would grab a bite and then head back to play with the trains. Cute little guys. Brayden then took his Hot Wheels and put them one at a time in the loader of a dump truck and lifted it to dump the car in the bed of the truck. He did this over and over until he had about twenty five cars in the dump truck. I was impressed that he knew how to put cars in using the loader.
We all had some birthday. Brayden ate, no, devoured his cake in a few minutes. Calvin was a little more meticulous in eating his cake. After a while the babies went to bed and then the older boys. Everyone headed home and Erin and I watched a little TV before she headed off to bed. Now it's time for dada to head off to bed. Happy Birthday Mama.
